Description Neil McCalden 2003-04-20 12:54:57 UTC

Do epm -q slocate-2.7-r1 when slocate-2.7-r2 is installed returns
slocate-2.7-r1 as if it was installed.



Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Find package with older ebuild
2. epm -q package-installed-ver
3. epm -q package-old-ver



Expected Results:  
I believe it should return 'not installed'. This allows scripts to check
postively if a given version is installed eg: checking for old packages in
pakages/All directory. Would also be consistent with RPM output.



I have a patch which makes -q test the version if specified on command line.

Thanks, I fixed this in cvs as 0.8.1.  The patch is much appreciated.

Comment 3 Wayne Davison 2003-04-24 15:25:21 UTC

Note that the epm ChangeLog for 0.8.1 refers to bug 19438, not this bug.

Also, I'd love to see my 4-month-old epm patches (see bug 8832 and
bug 12798) get incorporated into epm -- should these bugs be
reassigned to you, Aron?

Yes, please assign epm bugs to me.  And thanks regarding the ChangeLog, I'll fix it.
